With the singles "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang" and "Love Me Harder" from that album, she spent 34 continuous weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and had the most top 10 singles of any artist in 2014.

Anna Moffo, 1932–2006 (American opera singer, TV personality, actress)

* The Sun tends to amplify the qualities of any planet that enters its rays by conjunction. Ann Moffo had the Sun conjunct Venus (both in Cancer and on the Ascendant) at the end of her 12th House. The Sun added a warm and radiance to her soprano voice and reinforced the beauty of "La Bellissima" as she was known.

Benedict Cumberbatch (English actor and film producer)

* A new biography of Benedict Cumberbatch gives his birth time as "12pm." If we take 12 a.m. as the start of the day, then 12 p.m. means noon. In which case, Cumberbatch has Pluto on the Ascendant - both in Libra - ruled by Venus in dramatic Leo.

Thanks to Frank Clifford for the book reference.

Maria Gomes Valentim (Brazilian supercentenarian)

* Maria Gomes Valentim was the oldest verified living person in the world for a while before her death from multiple organ failure on 21 June 2011 at the age of 114 years 347 days. Valentim was the only validated supercentenarian from Brazil and one of the 30 verified oldest people in history. I always say that Cancer is the strongest sign in the zodiac; in Valentim's case tenaciously holding on to life and not giving in until the very end. Valentim had both luminaries and Venus in Cancer (all in the 4th house no less), with Venus ruling Mars, the ruler of her Aries ascendant.

Jessica Simpson (American singer, actress, TV personality)

* We have a birth time giving an ascendant sign of Scorpio for Jessica Simpson. The Scorpionic Irresistible (2001) was her first certified Gold album, taking its name from the lead song which was so strongly criticized for the sexuality of its lyrics. The curvy Simpson has both Sun and Moon in bosomy Cancer (with the Moon as final dispositor). In 2005, she played Daisy Duke in the remake of the film The Dukes of Hazzard, and sang on the soundtrack, covering Nancy Sinatra's feisty 1966 hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin.'" Simpson also appeared as Daisy Duke in the song's sexed-up video: flirting and singing in a bar and then later washing the General Lee car, wearing a skin-tight, revealing pink bikini. In the last couple of years she has changed tack by starting a family, having given birth to a daughter and a son.

Many thanks to both Kevin Cee who spotted the online news of Simpson's rising sign and to Karen Marie Shelton for confirming that the data came from Simpson's mother.

NATAL DATA and ASTROLOGY CHART

BIRTH DATA: Jessica Ann Simpson, 10 July 1980, 14:45-15:05 (2:45-5:05 p.m.), Abilene, Texas, USA (32n26, 99w43). ASC: 15 Scorpio. RR: A (from mother's memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes rising sign of Scorpio in a 2006 online article by Karen Marie Shelton (found on the internet by Kevin Cee): "According to her mom's (Tina Simpson) recollection of her birth time, Jessica was born under the ascending sign of Scorpio." (http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/articles.php?f=tip88803.htm). UPDATE: On 3 December 2014 Scholfield received a reply from Shelton: "When I specifically asked her what time Jessica was born Tina said '4:00 in the afternoon'. She then reminded me that although many people report Jessica was born in Dallas, Texas, she was actually born in Abilene, Texas. Tina didn't hesitate when I asked. She immediately replied with 4:00 pm. I know that sometimes mothers forget the exact time, but Tina seemed very clear & precise about the time."

Doug Brown (American professional skateboarder)

* Doug Brown has vocal Mercury in sporty Leo on his Midheaven.

Now aged 40, he continues his career as a pro-skateboarder while working as a motivational speaker at schools and detention centres. His Grand Fire Trine gives him plenty of energy to burn. Jupiter in Aquarius (opposite his Mercury) makes his Grand Trine into a Kite pattern, helping him to harness this energy and soar.

Check out his autobiography and website for more info (www.dougbrownskate.com).

Bill Camfield, 1929–1991 (American TV personality, a.k.a. "Icky Twerp")

* Bill Camfield was a popular TV personality in Fort Worth, Texas, in the 1950s and 1960s. He is best known as the goofy character, Icky Twerp (shortened from "Ichamore Twerpwhistle"), host of Slam Bang Theatre, an afternoon kids’ show which presented cartoons and Three Stooges comedies. Camfield had a slapstick conjunction of Mars and Neptune in entertaining Leo. The Pluto-rising Camfield also hosted the horror film series Nightmare in the guise of Gorgon, an eerie, black-caped character with a sinister laugh.

Kim Fowley (American record producer, singer, impresario, songwriter, musician, filmmaker, radio actor)

* Kim Fowley is best known for his role behind a string of novelty and cult pop rock singles in the 1960s, and for managing the all-female rock band The Runaways in the 1970s. He has the very musical and female combination of Venus in Cancer in the 4th House (at the apex of a Cardinal T-square involving an opposition of the ruling Moon and Jupiter). Fowley has been described as "one of the most colorful characters in the annals of rock & roll" and as "a shadowy cult figure well outside the margins of the mainstream." His tight T-square involves Mars in the last degree of Capricorn opposite Pluto in the first degree of Leo, all square Saturn in the first degree of Taurus. There's enough tension in that pattern alone to make for a very driven and compelling personality, not to mention Pluto conjunct Sun (his autobiography is called Lord of Garbage).

Shelby's first child. Doug Fowley's first son."

Katherine Helmond (American film, theatre and television actress)

* Saturn on the Ascendant doesn't give up easily, particularly when acting as the handle of a Bucket shape carrying both luminaries and Pluto in tenacious Cancer. As Hal Erickson sums it up, Katherine Helmond "spent nearly thirty years becoming an overnight success." She worked in New York and regional theatre for two decades, making ends meet as a drama teacher, before her big break came. In 1977, aged in her late 40s, she was cast as Jessica Tate, "the scatterbrained, hedonistic matriarch" on the TV sitcom Soap, remaining with the popular series through its entire run until 1981, and earning herself a Golden Globe. Helmond then returned on the Soap spinoff Benson playing Jessica's ghost. (Even death couldn't stop her in her tracks). Helmond picked up Emmy nominations for her role as Mona Robinson, a liberated grandmother in Who's the Boss (1984-1992), and as Lois Whelan in Everybody Loves Raymond in the 2000s. Now in her 80s, she continues to work, having received acclaim for her stage performance in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.

Conrad Hilton Jr., 1926–1969 (American socialite, hotel heir)

* Handsome hotel heir, Conrad Hilton Jr., had maidenly Venus in Gemini smack-bang on his Ascendant and with no close aspects except for a sextile to its ruler, Mercury in glamour-puss Leo. He liked the ladies and he is remembered for his short marriage to one beautiful future star in particular. Not the beauty queen Zsa Zsa Gabor, with whom he had an affair in his teens while she was his step-mother. And not the second of his two 18-year-old brides, oil heiress Patricia McClintock, but the other young lady: the budding screen legend Elizabeth Taylor. When he died young, at the age of 42, Hilton was fated to be identified in headlines as "ONCE WED TO LIZ TAYLOR." A renowned playboy and gambler, Hilton had philandering punter Jupiter on his MC opposite majorly boozy Neptune in Leo on his IC (and its ruler the Sun conjunct do-or-die Pluto). His death from a heart attack was brought about by many years of hitting the bottle.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Conrad Nicholson "Nicky" Hilton, Jr. (July 6, 1926 – March 31, 1969) was an American socialite, hotel heir, businessman, and TWA director. He was one of the sons of Conrad Hilton (founder of Hilton Hotels).

Hilton was born in Dallas, Texas. His father was Conrad Nicholson Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels, and his mother was Mary Adelaide (Barron). Hilton grew up with three siblings: William Barron Hilton, Eric Michael Hilton, and Constance Francesca Hilton. He was the great-uncle of Paris and Nicky Hilton, the latter sharing his nickname. He attended New Mexico Military Institute.

Hilton had an affair with his step-mother, Zsa Zsa Gabor, in 1944. He was Elizabeth Taylor's first husband (May 6, 1950 – January 29, 1951) with the marriage ending in divorce. In 1958, Hilton married oil heiress Patricia "Trish" McClintock. They had two sons: Conrad Nicholson Hilton III and Michael Otis Hilton.
